Since stature is an additive measurement, it would be useful to examine the pattern of its constituent segments in terms of sitting height and subischial leg length for the evaluation and insight of various growth related issues as well. The aim of the present study was to understand the growth patterns with respect to height (HT), sitting height (SH), subischial leg length (SLL), Cormic Index (CRI) and their relationship with age. The present cross-sectional study includes 162 Bengalee boys aged 6-12 years. Age effect displayed significant positive correlation with HT (r = 0.734), SLL (r = 0.731) and SH (r = 0.637). However, CRI revealed significant negative correlation (r = -0.433) with age. This may be due to the fact that in these ages tempo of growth in SLL was higher than SH. Age-wise correlation between SH and SLL changes dramatically and varies from 0.474 to 0.750 due to the variation in the tempo of growth.
由于身高是一种累加测量值，从坐高和坐骨下腿长的角度检查其组成部分的模式，对于评估和洞察各种与生长相关的问题也会很有帮助。本研究的目的是了解身高（HT）、坐高（SH）、坐骨下腿长（SLL）、科米克指数（CRI）的生长模式以及它们与年龄的关系。本横断面研究包括162名6至12岁的孟加拉男孩。年龄效应与身高（r = 0.734）、坐骨下腿长（r = 0.731）和坐高（r = 0.637）呈显著正相关。然而，科米克指数与年龄呈显著负相关（r = -0.433）。这可能是因为在这些年龄段，坐骨下腿长的生长速度高于坐高。由于生长速度的差异，坐高和坐骨下腿长之间的年龄相关性变化很大，从0.474到0.750不等。
